Hi-
A good day yesterday despite arriving at my gym to find that they changed the time of my zumba class! Oh well. used some equipment . lots of yard work also
Food- vtamuffin, orange, salad, pistachios , chicken rice,beets, frozen fruit bar, glass of wine
Today- vitamuffin, salad, fruit bar, dinner out tonight.
No exercise today- still tired from yesterday1
Hi all-
A busy week so out of touch. Back here today.
So far a healthy day- vitamuffin for breakfast, apple w/ pb for snack, salad w/ turkey, tom. & avocado for lunch & for dinner- fresh trout , green beans. sweet potato, glass of wh. wine, pistachios for snack
Had a not great start to the day- at the gym ,had a fast heart beat- something that has happened before & goes away on its own. But I thought it smart to stop exercising. It hasn't happened in awhile - usually I blame it on high humidity combined with exercise but that wasn't the case this time. Anyway, i'm not concerned but it did cut my exercise short.
Having our house painted so have to put up with the pressure washing, scraping etc but it needs to get done.
Enjoying this wonderful weather in the northeast- beautiful spring flowers & low humidity- lovely.
Hi
I ate the cake. Sad... no willpower....
Exercise today-- one hour class of weights and abs and then 3 hours of heavy duty yardwork- I'm basically dead tired
Food- breakfast- 100 cal. muffin, orange, lunch- turkey sandwich on thin bread dinner- whatever I can prepare that doesn't take too much energy- maybe chicken on greens. I use any excuse to try fig balsamic vinegar that I opened recently.
And then later this evening- going over to my daughter's house for birthday cake. Well at least the rest of the cake will stay at her house.
Hi all-
The last two days have been ok with a few exceptions. I'm off my ususal exercise routine & need to get back to it. Friday was golf which consisted of half walking/ half using a cart. Saturday no exercise at all. So today will at least get out for a walk.
I haven't been writing down my calories- which I have to start doing again- but have been trying to keep calories at 1400. I probably went a bit over yesterday as I had a second piece of yummy lemon cake . :( We had friends over for dinner & I gave myself a sliver of the cake but it was so good that I found myself having a second piece.Now the rest of the cake has to get thrown out or I will eat it. I am a person who can't have certain foods in the house.
And heart healthy- not so much for last night's dinner but otherwise eating more fruits and vegetables.
Today - Cereal for breakfast, salad with turkey for lunch & still need to plan for dinner
Have a good day!
Enjoy your afternoon!
Hi -
Ok, back - day #2. How many days does it say it takes to get yourself on a routine? 30?
Anyway- yesterday was a good day- maybe a little low on fiber- have to concentrate on more fruits- like apples & oranges. I could easily eat both each day which would help.
Today- cereal w/ almond milk & blueberries, lunch green salad w/ tom & chicken & vin & olive oil.Dinner is not yet planned- maybe a fish of some type w / veg.
No exercise yet today- try to get out for a walk or a bit of yard work.
Saw a small drop on the scale- always a nice sight.
Thanks all for the support!!
Hi D D Friends,
I'm going to make a real effort to get back on DD - aiming at every other day, but at least 3 times a week.
Now I'm concentrating on trying to lower my cholesterol without taking statins. Every medication I take gives me muscle pain & that just doesn't work for me. So I've done some research and know that # 1 I have to lose some weight. Also need to exercise regularly, eat more fiber, more vergetables, fruits, less red meat, little dairy. I've started on some of those but need to concentrate and be consistent. Not so easy but not impossible.
So today- cereal w/ Almond milk for breakfast, large salad with chicken, greens, apple, olive oil & balsamic vin. for lunch. Good start. Dinner is a new recipe for Sante Fe chicken w/ salsa & rice
Exercise has been yard work- is there no end to what needs to be done outside? It is a nice day so I'm enjoying my clean and sunny screened porch . It is finally Spring!
And is it too much to ask to lose 1 lb a week? Of course I'm now losing the weight that I put on in the last 6 months.... :( But better than adding to that weight, right?
I'll report back on those goals.
I will return- promise!.
RYC: I am much better off physically without coffee starting with perimenopause in about '09. Before that it was my good old friend:-) I went quite a few weeks without it last fall and it's been hard to get rid of again. I drink so little of the regular now, but that little bit is enough to keep me on the hook, in a manner of speaking:-)
HI-
So basically I'm not back to where I was when I first started , but did put back about ten pounds which just kills me when I think of how hard it was to lose those pounds. And by the way why is it so much harder to lose than it is to gain. :) Not fair...
Okay so pretty good day- Vita mufin for breakfast, soup for lunch , salmon, green beans & sweet potato, glass of wine for dinner. Snacks- a few bites of brownie that I baked for a neighbor, a handful of walnuts. A 40 min walk.
Tomorrow- Zumba!!
Hello all-
I haven't been posting & sorry about being absent . I just decided that I couldn't participate if I couldn't stick to my plan.
So here I am - to give it another try! Thnk positive, right?!
Back later
ps no one's ever going to fault you for not being perfect (or even close to it)--post when you can:-)
Hi-
Finished the 3 day cleanse/detox. All in all I'm glad that I did it. I thought maybe it was an answer to my sleeping problem when I got a good night sleep after day 1 but then woke up early after day 2 so didn't feel bad about going back to my morning cup of coffee. Weight loss- maybe 3 lbs- was probably 4 but then gained one back the next day so probably 2-3. More than anything I was trying to break my sugar & flour carb attacks.
Received our shipment so have been busy finding a place for everything. Also getting ready for family for Christmas.
Hope everyone is having a good day.
Hi-
Well the 3 day detox is going ok. I was joking to my husband though that I may make it a 2 day detox. It is 4 shakes all made with fruit, vegetables, flax seed and various other ingredients, including cayenne pepper in the evening shake. I'll see what the weight loss is after the third day but I can tell you that most of it is water. One thing they should say is to stay close to the bathroom during the three days- many trips to the bathroom. The calorie total each day is around 1300 so not such a low calorie diet. One of the positive things is that I now can tell you that I love almond butter- one of the shakes has 1 Tof almond butter.
Didn't make it to the gym yesterday but did get there today for Zumba. The teacher is so creative & incorporated some Christmas music into the routines.
Hope everyone is doing okay. Not easy during the holidays.
Glad the detox is going well--good to step outside the box from time to time!
